I had to modify Makefile and exculde comiling docs, but it's probably local problem, not with source. > make > cd build/bin > export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd` > ./apt-get .... > > You'll need to use the configuration options that offline.txt indicates so > that you can use a custom sources.list that is not in /etc/apt/. And i have to change some other things like Dir::Bin::methods and other, but i think it will work. Now it's breaking on: E: Could not open file /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin - open (2 No such file or directory) E: Could not open file /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin - open (2 No such file or directory) E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. Do i need *.cache.bin files too ? Thx -- Piotrek irc: #Debian.pl
